"LIFE"
Life.
A four letter word with such a big meaning. Everyone looks at it differenty, lives the word differently, interprets it differently, but did you ever really think about the word and really think, life, what does it mean to me?
They say life is short, which is true, I believe it. You're born, you begin to have birthday parties as a child, you live your life without a care in the world. Year by year, parents throw their kids huge parties, buy them what they want, Christmas comes and goes, you always get what you want. Before you know it, you're a teenager. You hit puberty, and it's like your parents, the ones that gave you the world, you can't stand being around them, they become monsters to you. They're like aliens, you don't want to be seen around them, nothing. The two people, that cared about you, loved you, and always will unconditionally, you don't want anything to do with them...the ones that sacrificed so much, to give you the better life. Why is it like this? Sometimes I wonder. These are things that I know I've been through in my own life, I've had those thoughts, I've gone through many experiences with my parents, that I didn't want them around me, I couldn't stand the way they raised me, but then you finally hit adulthood, you're 18. You can do what you want, make your own decisions, and live on your own. When I hit 18, I was off to college, making new friends, going to parties, and living the LIFE. There's that word again, "LIFE". Is living the "LIFE" partying, making STUPID decisions, and getting fucked up all the time? When you're 18, I guess you don't really think about that. You begin to grow, not only in age, but also as a person. I'm 21, and now I can say, I really am living the life. See, to me, the meaning of "LIFE" is about going through different stages, phases, and experiences through the different ages in your life and growing as a person. Some may grow faster as a person, and some may not. Age is just a number, it's about GROWING as a person. Not about the number you will be year after year. It's about going through hard times and good times, people will come and go throughout your life. Whether they are a friend, a relative, an enemy, a co-worker, so and so forth. You never know when a new person will enter your life, but I believe in fate, and I believe that you meet different people at different times in your life for a certain reason. You may not know the reason at the time, but as your life moves on, time will tell why that person was in your life. You may go against what I may think, and what I believe, but everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, opinions, and so on. It's your "LIFE", right?
Why do some people turn out to be "good" and some "evil"? Or here's a much better way of putting it...how do you interpret "good" and "eveil"? I'm gonna think about that one as well...I'll have MY OWN answer for that later on.
